As
you mentioned, the Pentagon is still putting out misleading reports that inflate
the numbers of released detainees who "return to the battlefield." The last one
I read was even released by the same spokesman, Geoff Morrell, who did this
under Bush and in the same dodgy language. This false report does undercut
President Obama's project to close Guantanamo.

The
right wing will go on and make their ridiculous claims, but more concerning is
watching the Pentagon produce these reports at politically sensitive moments
for Obama, and also for detainees who have been held without charge for years
and years.
